Deleted scenes have long been a staple of DVD and Blu-ray extras, but with viewers increasing relying on streaming platforms for their movie-watching needs they aren’t always as easy to come by anymore. Thankfully, the internet is here to help. Specifically, the YouTube channel WhatCulture rounded…

Dwayne Johnson is such an unstoppable superstar at this point that he can play whoever he wants to play, which is probably why Warner Bros. is letting him play a slightly obscure villain like Black Adam instead of a more traditionally popular hero, but now Johnson has finally landed a role he’s been pushing for since…

Prototype, the first feature-length effort from Toronto filmmaker and movie critic Blake Williams, clocks the beginning of end times as 1900. That’s the year that the most lethal natural event in American history struck the once-bustling commercial center of Galveston, Texas, claiming approximately 8,000 lives. This…

As Matthew Weiner’s Mad Men follow-up The Romanoffs inches ever closer to its October 12 premiere, Amazon Prime has tried to entice us with the wattage of its stars rather than the stories themselves: Both a teaser and a trailer offer little beyond glimpses of the cast. That changes now (sort of), as Amazon just…

Castle Rock is part of the recent wave of excellent Stephen King adaptations that includes last year’s cinematic takes on It and Gerald’s Game. What sets Castle Rock apart, and what might generally push viewers over the love-hate divide, comes down to how distracted they’ll be with picking up on the plethora of Easter…

Owen Egerton’s new horror-comedy flick Blood Fest follows a group of friends (The Legend Of Korra’s Seychelle Gabriel, Once Upon a Time’s Robbie Kay, and Spider-Man: Homecoming’s Jacob Batalon) as they attempt to outwit the showman of the eponymous film festival as he unleashes his diabolical agenda. At the premiere…

For decades, the raw footage for one of Orson Welles’ final projects was left in a vault, waiting for someone to come along and buy the rights to finish it. Last year, Netflix realized it was sitting on a big mountain of money, so it acquired The Other Side Of The Wind and—with the approval of Welles’…

The Conjuring 2 got a lot of mileage out of its demonic nun, who was both very scary and very pious. And now New Line Cinema is following the lead it established with the Annabelle-centric Conjuring spin-offs by giving the nun her own prequel, Corin Hardy’s The Nun. We know the nun—who is actually a demon named Valak—…

Everybody has their pop culture blindspots—those particular TV shows or movies that you just never got around to watching despite their massive cultural imprint. Usually, in those situations, you just hope that your pop culture ignorance doesn’t come out in some embarrassing, highly public fashion. Like, for instance,…

It’s been a weird, wild journey on Mr. Robot, the USA series that established the network as a contender in the prestige TV space. But it’s time for Sam Esmail’s tale of a troubled hacker’s reach towards revolution to unplug. Variety reports the series’ upcoming fourth season will be its last, fulfilling the prophecy…

It’s been two years since Harry Shearer filed a $125 million lawsuit against entertainment groups Vivendi and StudioCanal, saying he’s received only $81 in merchandising income from Spinal Tap’s enduring array of albums, tours, swag, and home video sales. In 2017, Shearer’s lawsuit brought on fellow bandmates…

Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi was a critical and commercial success, but its aftermath has been plagued by a vocal contingent of haters producing sexist, incomprehensible edits, starting petitions, harassing the film’s female stars, and threatening a crowd-funded remake they promise won’t “push an agenda of masculine…

Last year, YouTube announced that it would be making a concerted effort to combat the influx of weird and disturbing videos passing as children’s entertainment on their site. So far, however, it seems they’re doing a pretty shitty job of it. These repetitive, CGI nightmares are still so prevalent that they’ve begun…

You know those fancy Bluetooth earbuds you love using so much? Surprise: they won’t work with your Nintendo Switch, or the seatback TV screen on a plane. But for just $22 (with promo code KINJA070), you can plug this Bluetooth dongle into any headphone jack, and connect to it with your favorite wireless headphones for…

Comixology, one of the easiest platforms on which to buy and store comics, has expanded into creating original content. Much like parent company Amazon’s tactics when it comes to original video content, Comixology originals span a variety of different genres and formats and promise more to come.

It’s a testament to Anthony Bourdain’s legacy that his fans continue to want more of his singular style of food and travel commentary after his death in early June. Recently announcing it would air the final seven episodes of Parts Unknown this fall, CNN also tells Vanity Fair it is in the preliminary stages of…

The hormone monster stirs: New episodes of Big Mouth are coming to Netflix October 5. If you’re thinking that the pubescent animated comedy forged a double entendre from that phrasing for this teaser trailer, you’re right—but not in the way you think.

We see deals on 12" Apple MacBooks on Amazon and Woot from time to time, but they’re always for refurbs, and always older models. Today though, Amazon’s taking $350 off brand new laptops from the current generation (released in the middle of 2017).

There was always a danger, lurking since the premiere, that Castle Rock would get bogged down in recreating an auteur’s mythology or stylistic flourishes rather than developing its own world and its own characters. But I assumed it would at least be Stephen King’s mythology and Stephen King’s stylistic flourishes.…

The actor: Jonathan Pryce is perfect for British Actor Bingo, having played The Master in Doctor Who, a Bond villain in Tomorrow Never Dies, stolen scenes on Game Of Thrones, and even taken on London’s most famous detective for Sherlock Holmes And The Baker Street Irregulars. Pryce first stepped in front of the…

Jim Jefferies—the outspoken atheist comedian you want to take a poke at slightly less than Bill Maher and Ricky Gervais—took some of that Comedy Central cash and booked a flight to Jerusalem on Tuesday’s religion-themed Jim Jefferies Show. Sitting down with a Baptist pastor, a rabbi, and a Muslim scholar for a…

This woman has gone down on me (I’m a man) more than half a dozen times in the last three months. Each time seems to be better than the previous! She does not want reciprocation. She has also turned down all my offers for intercourse. As far as I know, she is heterosexual just like me. What’s with that? I am getting a…
